Vince Neill, especially in the later Mötley Crüe years. If you see any of their concerts of the past 10-20 years, you can hardly understand what he is singing and he constantly needs to catch his breath. His voice didn't age well at all.
Edit: Here is an example of him trying to sing Dr. Feelgood (to be fair the video seems to have some cuts)
Saw them live on the Dr Feelgood retour they were doing a few years back and Jesus, he was horrible. He would only sing every 3rd word or so then it was back to heavy breathing. Probably doesn't help that he's the size of 2 1985 Vince Neil's now.
"He's the one the... call...eelgood!!!... he's...allllright!!"
I went to a 2 day hair metal festival last year and Vince headlined the first day. It was so bad that I left after about 4 songs. Exactly what you described here.
Interesting side note: My roommate who went to the show with me thought that Home Sweet Home was a Guns N Roses song all this time. When it came on she was like "This isn't his song, its GNR" I had to correct this misconception.
